number of short-sleeved shirts --- x
number of long-sleeved shirts --- 63-x
15x +22(63-x) = 1134
15x + 1386 - 22x = 1134
-7x = -252
x = 36
so 36 short-sleeved and 27 longsleeved shirts
number of long-sleeved shirts --- 63-x

Short shirt x
Long shirt y
x + y = 63
15x + 22y = 1134
substitute x = 63-y
15(63-y) + 22y = 1134
945 -15y + 22y = 1134
7y = 189
y =27
x = 36
short-sleeved shirts : 27
Long-sleeved shirts: 36
Long shirt y
x + y = 63
15x + 22y = 1134
substitute x = 63-y
15(63-y) + 22y = 1134
945 -15y + 22y = 1134
7y = 189
y =27
x = 36
short-sleeved shirts : 27
Long-sleeved shirts: 36
